Professional Version – Corporate Presentations
We work with French companies seeking to develop or establish their presence in the Japanese market by offering tailored operational and cultural support.
This support includes both strategic presentations on entering the Japanese market and intensive training programs lasting 48 to 72 hours designed for executives who will be interacting with Japanese teams, partners, or clients.
The training courses cover, in particular, professional communication norms, cultural and protocol customs, negotiation practices, and an introduction to Japanese traditions. Depending on the company’s needs, they may also include a basic introduction to the Japanese language, focused on real-world professional situations.
